Okay I'm gone crazy over the last couple days trying to figure this out. I'm creating a movie ranking application. To show the movies I create a QuerySet with all the movies in the "group" the users is looking at. Then I pull all the votes that group has given to that movie and get the average. I give each movie in the movie set a new attribute name score. I now want to sort that QuerySet with the new 'score' attribute that i've calculated.
I've tried the movies.sort('score') and movies.order_by('score') neither work. I'm going crazy with this problem. Anyone know how to sort a QuerySet with an attribute that's not part of the database?? Transform it into l list? Is there a different sort function? If you're interested here's my code I'm using: Thanks, Poz def event(request, event_id): try: e = Event.objects.get(id__exact=event_id) except Event.DoesNotExist: raise Http404 movies = e.movies.all() <-------------------------------- HERE'S WHERE THE QUERYSET IS CREATED user = request.user for movie in movies: votes = Vote.objects.filter(event=e, movie=movie) totalscore = 0 totalvoters = 0 for vote in votes: totalscore += vote.score totalvoters += 1 if totalscore == 0: movie.score = 0 else: movie.score = float(totalscore) / totalvoters <-------------------------------- HERE'S WHERE I ADD THE SCORE ATTRIBUTE TO THE QUERYSET movie.totalscore = totalscore movie.totalvoters = totalvoters if Vote.objects.filter(event=e, user=user, movie=movie): uservote = Vote.objects.get(event=e, user=user, movie=movie) movie.uservote = uservote.score else: movie.uservote = 0 votes = Vote.objects.filter(event=e, user=user) form = MovieForm() movies = movies.order_by('sort') <-------------------------------- HERE'S WHERE I WANT TO SORT THE QUERYSET return render_to_response('event.html', {'event': e, 'movies': movies, 'user': user, 'score': totalscore, 'form': form, 'searchresults': searchresults}) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
